Pastor's Corner

Dear Church Family,

This Sunday we will welcome Rodney and Jana Davila. Cornerstone has supported the Davilas with MTW (Mission to the World) for some time now. They have most recently been serving in Costa Rica but God is now calling them to serve with MTW in El Salvador. It will be great for  us to greet them this Sunday and here a report of their Gospel ministry. 

I wanted to update you all on the work of the Feasibility Committee. After some time, the committee finally received a detailed survey of our current property on McClung. This report gave us lots of information about the property and will now be shared with the architects and civil engineers to see what possibilities there are for parking and other improvements. Please continue to pray for this committee's work.

Also, please keep praying for the LORD to raise up an assistant pastor to serve our students and families at Cornerstone. The Session continues to meet with men and contact potential candidates. Let's begin praying now for the man and his family that the LORD will bring. 

See you Sunday! We will celebrate communion this Sunday as well. 

By His grace and to His praise, 

Pastor Wilson
